Prepare for virtual glory, its The Axe Factor! This week, we ponder the latest media from Splinter Cell: Blacklist, square off over Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel, and unite in our fervor for the Oculus Rift vr headset.
THIS WEEK:
Comment by Mishiko Bjalava on January 22, 2013 at 6:13am i love the idea of The Oculus Rift but how long will it take to make me loose sight?? lol
Comment by Miguel Ramos on January 22, 2013 at 7:33am Maybe it's just me but I don't have a play button anywhere...
Comment by Talis12 on January 22, 2013 at 7:42am Ow Brent.. at least the poll is still there ;)
Just click the download link and it will open the player in a new window
Comment by Alexander Arts on January 22, 2013 at 8:56am Lorin, the Oculus rift looks cool and all, but you have to think about the support it may or may not get. I want to play a new Zelda, but I'm not ready to plunk down my cash for a Wii U until I see those games on the store shelf - same goes for the Rift.
It's kind of funny that you sold your VITA to get it, because your impulse seems to be the same, and the VITA didn't get enough support either. I can see a scenario where it becomes forgotten very quickly as a fad due to limitations on control, and lack of support. Hawken is an OK game and Doom 3 is OK, but not really a game I want to experience so badly that I am ready to pay a ton just for that.
BTW, this is Ian from Taiwan - happy episode 101!
there is a play button to the right fellas where it says music!
Comment by Tralamazza on January 22, 2013 at 9:35am @Lorin If you are into Sci-fi VR etc you should check out a self-published book called Complete Atopia Chronicles
EDITOR: Just bought it!!
Comment by Mishiko Bjalava on January 22, 2013 at 9:38am seriously guys why don`t you talk about Rift fucking up your eyesight?? can you imagine playing it for several hours a day.. fuck man.. 3DS even has some guide written on it to take brakes. i don`t wont this to sound like i am bitching about this but its true man... after several years of playing your fucked. (also the experience will be awesome .lol)
Comment by Rudolph Solomon III on January 22, 2013 at 10:31am Seems like the Rift is Lorin's new PSVita. He'll get really excited about it, will hype himself up about it and it will ultimately come out and be underwhelming to how he thought it should work and lack amount content per his standard. Then he'll whine about it and sell it for the next new thing that may underwhelm as well.
Comment by Fabian Winkler on January 22, 2013 at 1:31pm Did you guys read the new rumor about the PS4 maybe called PS Omni? It will have goggles, too.
Comment by StarBound on January 22, 2013 at 2:41pm I don't know much about the oculus rift but I am not sure I want to wear something like that one my head. I am already wearing glasses so whenever I watch a 3d movie its an extra layer. Regardless of that I am not sure if I like the idea of something flashing into my eyes at such a close range. The closest I get to any screen would be my 3ds and vita at about 30cm, then further with the ipad and then an arms length is my pc screen.
If anything I am more interested in how they evolve this.

Many, many people have opinions on the next generation of consoles, gaming and what appears to be a new breed of multimedia devices. As a consumer and with an avid interest in technology I hope I have a unique look at what has been presented as the future of what we all love,…
Team EBC reacts to Microsoft's unveiling of the Xbox One. What should gamers take away from the announcement? How did Microsoft approach its presentation? Why were there so few games on display and WHY IS IT SO BIG?!?! We offer up One opinion after another on this rocket-science-fueled…
its very very rare now days for games to come out that i know nothing about before but today that happened .Was over a mates today and he said downloaded off steam a new diablo style rpg and i had never heard anything about it at all (think it was only released yesterday ) it was called the incredible adventures of van helsing.
Was curious and started playing and blow me down if its actually rather good
I am a huge fan of action rpgs…
Hello fellow Axeheads! As the great AVGN would say; "What a shitload of fuck!" I am, of course, referring to the Xbox One. Everyone has been frothing at the mouth and having seizures over the calamitous reveal.
Now... It's not really my place to jump on the wagon of despair. After all, I don't own an Xbox 360 and…
Hi Microsoft its me, the little guy who's been buying your consoles for the last ten years. Just wanted to let you now how excited I was by your new console reveal. Sure I would have liked to see more games (maybe even one being played) but I get why you didn't go that route. The reveal was a focus on the system itself right and you wanted to keep it relevant to actual specs and functionality, like when you announced a Halo TV show. Things like that were why people tuned in and I'm sure its…
